The next ‘Jurassic World’ movie is currently filming.
Jonathan, that Dancing Through Life set piece is just A+, phenomenal work.
I could sit here and talk about every ounce of it all day.
BAILEY: Oh, wow.
Jumping on to the tornado.
In fact, jumping off of it, which is swinging whilst the three wheels are rotating.
You know what I’m talking about?
A little tunnel, and I was having to run and swing and run and swing.
GOLDBLUM: It was amazing.
Degree of difficulty 10.
BAILEY: There are a lot of people to thank because theyre amazing experts.
Turning the pages with your feet!
And I know from your co-stars that that was real.
That’s really you!
There are so many moments in that scene where I’m like, How is that possible?
BAILEY: Well, thank you very much.
It’s a lot of magic and hard work.
And Chris Scott, the choreographer, can take all the credit.
And Leah, his assistant.
GOLDBLUM: I pitched him today a remake, but in musical form, ofMy Left Foot.
I think you’re so right for that!
BAILEY: Have you got some marbles that I can pop in my shoe?
Jeff, theres a particular thing in our press notes that I really wanted to follow up on.
GOLDBLUM: Being with those people.
Michelle Yeoh, a royal, international treasure.
Cynthia Erivo great, magnificent.
Ariana Grande, great.
It’s just a dream come true.
BAILEY: The cast and crew.
And the respect between cast and crew meant that we were all celebrating together.
I remember birthdays and big moments of celebration.
I remember Ari’s 30th.
She was actually running away from monkeys in the Wizard’s palace.
GOLDBLUM: I think Jon had a baby during the shoot.
BAILEY: He had a baby, actually, halfway through Dancing Through Life.
And hes just had another one.
In fact, he had three babies throughout this time.
What wonderful things to celebrate!
GOLDBLUM: Totally, totally, totally.
It was a magical celebration of life, the whole experience.
BAILEY: I’m so glad!
Im hoping it’s coming across how much I appreciate what you put into this.

Thats really, really exciting.
